Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01202305Recruiting
Lymph node biopsies to study HIV in different patients
This study uses a small tissue sample from an often-accessible lymph node to learn how HIV affects the body. It may help researchers understand why some people control HIV better than others.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT01912313Recruiting
Testing nerve signals in gut samples from IBS patients
This study looks at how nerves behave in small gut tissue samples (biopsies) from people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand IBS symptoms and what might be driving them.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–99 - NCT05886036RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing rituximab vs mosunetuzumab for NLPHL
This trial compares two immunotherapy drugs, rituximab and mosunetuzumab, to see which works better for people with nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) who need treatment. It's for both newly diagnosed and previously treated patients.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07558083RecruitingPhase 3
Tracking colorectal cancer response using blood tests
This study tests whether a simple blood test can track how well your colorectal cancer is responding to first-line chemotherapy. By monitoring cancer markers in your blood, doctors may be able to detect treatment changes earlier than traditional imaging.
Mechelen, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT07508306Recruiting
Blue dye sentinel node mapping for early ovarian cancer
This study is testing a blue dye called Patent Blue to see if it can help surgeons find sentinel lymph nodes (the first nodes cancer might spread to) during surgery for early-stage ovarian cancer. The goal is to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal, possibly leading to fewer side effects.
La RabtaAges 18 years+ - NCT06990737RecruitingPhase 2
Sentinel node biopsy for high-risk skin cancer of the head and neck
This trial is testing whether a procedure called sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) can help manage high-risk skin cancer on the head and neck that has not spread to lymph nodes. It is for people whose skin cancer is considered high-risk due to features like size, depth, or location, and who are able to have surgery.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06102889Enrolling by invitation
Using liquid biopsies to guide treatment for pancreatic cancer
This study is testing a way to use blood samples, called liquid biopsies, to find tiny bits of cancer left after surgery and choose the best follow-up treatments for pancreatic cancer. It might help doctors personalize care for each patient.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07080944Recruiting
Lymph node biopsy after chemo for inflammatory breast cancer
This trial is testing if a less invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy can replace more extensive lymph node removal in women with inflammatory breast cancer who have had chemotherapy and whose nodes appear cancer-free. This could help avoid unnecessary side effects.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06622187Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Desmopressin to prevent bleeding during kidney biopsy
This trial tests if desmopressin can lower bleeding risk during a kidney transplant biopsy. It may help patients with reduced kidney function who need a biopsy.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT06563167Recruiting
Predicting air leaks after lung needle biopsy
This study is testing a way to predict serious air leaks (pneumothorax) after a lung needle biopsy. The goal is to find patterns that could help doctors know who might need a chest tube.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05467033RecruitingPhase 3
Desmopressin to improve safety after kidney biopsy
This trial tests whether desmopressin can make kidney biopsy safer by reducing bleeding risk. It compares safety outcomes after a biopsy in people who meet specific blood, medication, and health criteria.
BialystokAges 18–99 - NCT07046572Recruiting
Pain relief for IUD insertion or endometrial biopsy
This trial tests if a pain-relief medication called methoxyflurane can help women who haven't had children before feel less pain during IUD insertion or a uterine biopsy. If you're getting one of these procedures and are not currently breastfeeding or using strong painkillers, this study might be for you.
